Fat Donohoe was over in the
Phoenix neighborhood Thursday,
which was not the best kind of a day
to be anywhere on the road. Farmers

The stiff breeze Tuesday night,
preceding a good rain, gave a touch
of early day scenes when homestead
shanties were tumbled over the prairie

at a road camp on highway 11 south
west of Amelia was seen upset by
passers by next morning.
A benefit show at the Royal a few
nights ago for the Father Flannigan

Gotleib Bauer of Debit township
and a brother-in-law of Martin Bazel
man, has been in the city this past
week. Mr. Bauer lives in the southeast
corner of the county. He says that
section felt the drouth the past sea
son as did others and the usual fruit
ful yields of that part of Holt are
lacking this season, although they
are not as hard hit as some places.
Dick Hubert, living north of O’Neill
on the Eagle, sustained the loss of
his truck Tuesday night by fire. It

Midway store. Mrs. Hubert who was
with her husband in the truck sus
tained some injury but what extent
\ve have not learned. Information
that comes to this office is that the
truck rolled into the ditch by the side
of the road and upset, catching fire.
It was empty.
The sale of a wagon was once an
every dajv affair with the dealers
in O’Neill. Now it may be considered
of sufficient importance to let the
neighbors know about it, like the
woman in the parable who called in
the neighbors to rejoice at finding the
lost coin. Frank Biglin furnished a
customer a new wagon the past week,
it being a “repeat order.” The first
order was fourteen years ago, but that
is a small matter in the wagon trade.
Wagons rarely get off the premises
these days and with such usages last
for years.
Mrs. Elmer Gibson was in from her
home some twenty miles south on
highway 13 Monday, making us a
business call. Mrs. Gibson has a
pleasant farm home in a fine country
and is much pleased at the completion
of the highway past her place. This
highway gives the people of the rich
Cache creek valley connection with
the county seat by as fine a stretch
of road as will be found in the state,
and to those who knew the conditions
of the roads in years past when at
times—and most of the time—they
were impassible, this highway will be
of inestimable value.
Barnyard Fowl Supply Milady’s
Fine Plumes
Washington, Oct. 1.-—If the manly
sportsman or nature lover does not
think his wife looks her best in the
latest fashionable flurry of feathers,
he can not disapprove on legal
grounds, warn officials of the Ameri
can Game Association.
While some years ago nature pre
pared the beautiful plumes for mi
lady’s hats, credit the plumes in the
present comeback of feathered style
must go to human artistry—wifi the
unsuspecting cooperation of the barn
yard fowl. Now that strict laws ex
ist against killing wild birds for their
plumage or using the feathers «f
most wild birds, it would be a plaus
ible coincidence if the chicken which
graced the family board today should
furnish the charming, wild-looking
ornament for that new hat in the
family closet tomorrow.

Tie u string around a quarter aud hold the quarter suspended over and

thumb, and place it directly over the pulse of the thumb. Hold your hand
perfectly rigid, aud the quarter will begin to swing to and fro like a pendu
lum. The arc made by the swinging quarter will slowly increase in width
until the quarter strikes the side of the glass; and It will strike the number
of times closest to the hour of the day. If the time should he twenty minutes
past one, the quarter will strike the glass once, and should the time be quar

over the pulse of the thumb, as this is the motivating force controlling the
movements of the quarter. ’v

Forest Fires Call for Latest Methods
of War_
The modern system of fighting a
forest file is based on the latest
i methods of war, says a bulletin of
I the American Game Association.
| Lookouts in towers many miles a
I part today can locate a fire on com
j bat maps instantly and with absolute
i accuracy. This is done with the aid
I of instruments and a system of tri
angulation checked by telephone be
tween two or more towers.
As the fall danger period ap
proaches, state foresters and the fed
eral forest service are prepared with
increasingly efficient fire-fighting
machinery and organizations to mo
bilize 1,000 men if necessary on short
notice, speed them by motor to any
part of the forest over a network of
trails and surround a blaze before
it is well under way. In isolated
sections men and material may be
landed from airplanes, and many
organizations are prepared to scout
large fires from the air and direct
activities by radio.
As another fire-fighting measure
forestry officials are reminding the
people that such heavy expenditures
are made necessary almost wholly
by human carelessness.
